As a June fight between middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and former three-division titleholder Miguel Cotto gets closer and closer, one potential impediment to the deal getting done has seemingly been removed. Marco Antonio Rubio is Martinez's mandatory challenger and the fight is due. Fighting Cotto is a much, much, much bigger fight for Martinez than facing Rubio. Everyone knows that, including the WBC, whose alphabet belt Martinez holds. The belt is important to Martinez and he surely would not want to give it up or be stripped (which he was once before).
